Title: Just a Race question...
Post by: RoyalTramp on February 03, 2007, 10:57:41 am
I previously only played PS for a short time on my last character as I was playing too many online games so stopped.

However I've returned and want to make a "hardcore roleplayed" character. I want it to be a craftsman who seeks to become the best at making quality goods, but also a merchant who is skilled in wit and great at selling his wares for a good price.

I'm just wandered if I'd be prohibited if I played the Ylian race instead of a Dwarven race when mining - due to Dwarves having bonuses that Ylian don't?

I could play a dwarf but I found it harder to roleplay one before.

Any race can be good at anything with practice. I don't think the Dwarves have bonouses in mining, maybe just strength to carry more. I find Ylians to be more than adequate for mining save the lack of strength but I'd take something I could roleplay properly over statistical bonouses any day.

Yes that is what I was referring to, the amount you can carry.

But hey I suppose it just means I have to work harder. And working harder means more realism - so more roleplaying capability.

Thanks for the advice.
